Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steckverbinder-Kupplung, mit einem Buchsenstecker und mit einem Stiftstecker, die zusammen ein Stecker-Pärchen bilden und die aus Isoliermaterial bestehen und jeweils Aufnahmen zum Einstecken und primärem Sichern von Buchsenkontakten aufweisen, wobei mindestens eine federnde Kurzschlußbrücke vorgesehen ist, die jeweils zwei Buchsenkontakte des Buchsensteckers miteinander verbindet, und wobei der Stiftstecker, parallel zu in mindestens einer Reihe angeordneten Kontaktstiften, die zum Einstecken in die entsprechend angeordneten Buchsenkontakte des Buchsensteckers bestimmt und jeweils mit den eigenen Buchsenkontakten verbunden sind, für jede Kurzschlußbrücke ein Unterbrecherelement aufweist, welches bei der Kupplung von Buchsenstecker und Stiftstecker den Kurzschluß zwischen den jeweils zwei Buchsenkontakten aufhebt.The invention relates to a connector coupling, with a socket plug and with a pin plug, which together form a pair of plugs and which consist of insulating material and each have receptacles for inserting and primarily securing socket contacts, at least one resilient shorting bridge being provided, each connects two socket contacts of the socket connector to one another, and the pin connector, in parallel to contact pins arranged in at least one row, which are intended for insertion into the correspondingly arranged socket contacts of the socket connector and are each connected to its own socket contacts, has an interrupter element for each shorting bridge, which at the coupling of the socket plug and pin plug cancels the short circuit between the two socket contacts.

Ein derartiger Steckverbinder ist durch das DE-GM 91 12 178 bekannt.Such a connector is known from DE-GM 91 12 178.

Steckverbinder werden beispielsweise als Komponenten von Airbag-Systemen in Kraftfahrzeugen eingesetzt. Die zunehmenden Anforderungen an die Betriebssicherheit derartiger Systeme löst zwangsläufig auch steigende Anforderungen an deren Steckverbinder aus. Neben der konventionellen Aufgabe, eine lösbare elektrische Verbindung herzustellen, müssen derartige Steckverbinder deshalb wichtige Schutzfunktionen, insbesondere eine Sicherung vor durch elektrische Ladungen ausgelöste Fehlfunktionen des Airbag-Systems im ungekuppelten Zustand des Steckverbinders und vor einer Fehlauslösung im Fahrbetrieb durch elektromagnetische Störungen, erfüllen.Connectors are used, for example, as components of airbag systems in motor vehicles. The increasing demands on the operational safety of such systems inevitably trigger increasing demands on their connectors. In addition to the conventional task of establishing a detachable electrical connection, connectors of this type must therefore perform important protective functions, in particular securing against malfunctions of the airbag system triggered by electrical charges when the connector is uncoupled and before being triggered incorrectly during operation by electromagnetic interference.

Bei der Montage oder Wartung eines Kraftfahrzeugs lassen sich insbesondere elektrostatische Entladungen nie völlig ausschließen. Um zu vermeiden, daß bereits einzelne Entladungsfunken eine Fehlauslösung des Airbag-Systems zur Folge haben, wird der Stromversorgungskontakt des Buchsensteckers des ungekuppelten Steckverbinders mit dem niederohmigeren Massekontakt kurzgeschlossen. Fehlauslösungen der vor statischen Entladungen ungeschützten Kontakte des Buchsensteckers werden demnach durch Ableiten der Entladungen über den Massekontakt verhindert. Im obengenannten Gebrauchsmuster wird zur Verbindung von jeweils zwei Buchsenkontakten im Buchsenstecker ein federndes Kurzschlußelement vorgeschlagen. Dieser Kurzschluß muß im gesteckten Zustand des Steckverbinders natürlich sicher aufgehoben werden. Dies kann durch ein zungenförmiges Unterbrecherelement im Stiftstecker erreicht werden, das sich beim Zusammenfügen des Steckerpärchens zwischen Buchsenkontakte und Kurzschlußelement schiebt.When assembling or maintaining a motor vehicle, in particular electrostatic discharges can never be completely ruled out. To prevent individual discharge sparks from triggering the airbag system incorrectly, the power supply contact of the socket connector of the uncoupled connector is short-circuited to the lower-resistance ground contact. Erroneous tripping of the contacts of the socket plug, which are unprotected from static discharges, is therefore prevented by discharging the discharges via the ground contact. In the above-mentioned utility model, a resilient short-circuit element is proposed for connecting two socket contacts in each case in the socket plug. This short circuit must of course be safely removed when the connector is plugged in. This can be achieved by means of a tongue-shaped interrupter element in the pin connector, which is pushed between the socket contacts and the short-circuit element when the pair of connectors is assembled.

Wie bereits erwähnt, muß darüber hinaus eine Fehlauslösung des Airbags durch leitungsgeführte hochfrequente Spannungen vermieden werden. Diese können im Betrieb des Kraftfahrzeugs, also bei gekuppeltem Steckverbinder, beispielsweise während einiger Millisekunden des Zündvorganges auftreten. Bisher wird diese, neben dem Kurzschließen zweite Schutzfunktion durch einen zweiten, zusätzlichen Steckverbinder erfüllt, der ein in Reihe geschaltetes Filter-Bauelement beinhaltet. Das Filter-Bauelement des unmittelbar am Gasgenerator des Airbags angeordneten Filter-Steckverbinders wird bisher erst bei Montage des Airbag-Systems eingelötet.As already mentioned, incorrect deployment of the airbag by line-guided high-frequency voltages must also be avoided. These can occur during operation of the motor vehicle, that is to say with a plug connector connected, for example during a few milliseconds of the ignition process. So far, in addition to short-circuiting, this second protective function has been fulfilled by a second, additional plug connector, which contains a filter component connected in series. The filter component of the filter connector arranged directly on the gas generator of the airbag has so far only been soldered in when the airbag system is installed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine in ihren Funktionen erweiterte, kompaktere und gleichzeitig flexiblere Steckverbinder-Kupplung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide an expanded, more compact and at the same time more flexible connector coupling of the type mentioned in its functions.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß im Stiftstecker ein elektrisches Filter-Bauelement integriert und in Reihe zwischen zwei bei der Kupplung miteinander verbundenen Buchsenkontakten des Stecker-Pärchens geschaltet ist.This object is achieved in that an electrical filter component is integrated in the pin connector and is connected in series between two socket contacts of the plug pair which are connected to one another in the coupling.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Steckverbinder besteht aus einem Stiftstecker 1 und einem Buchsenstecker 8, 9 und 15. In den annähernd zylindrischen Stiftstecker 1 sind in Axialrichtung Stiftkontakte, beispielsweise mit einem Querschnitt von 0,63 x 0,63 mm und mit einer vergoldeten Kontaktoberfläche, eingepreßt. Von den äußeren Abmessungen her ist die Stiftsteckerausführung als sechspolige, zweireihige Kontaktanordnung mit stirnseitigem Kabelabgang ausgeführt. Die buchsenseitige Stirnseite des Stiftsteckers 1 ist offen, so daß der Stiftstecker 1 dort zur teilweisen Aufnahme des Buchsensteckers bei der Kupplung ausgebildet ist. Die Kupplung wird durch an sich bekannte Führungs- und Rastmittel, insbesondere einen federnden Rasthaken 13 am Buchsenstecker und eine passende Rastöffnung 4 am Stiftstecker 1, unterstützt. Eine vorteilhafte Fixiermöglichkeit des Steckverbinders beispielsweise am Fahrzeugchassis ist durch den dargestellten integrierten Schnapphaken 2 gegeben.The connector shown in Figure 1 consists of a pin connector 1 and a socket connector 8, 9 and 15. In the approximately cylindrical pin connector 1 are pin contacts in the axial direction, for example with a cross section of 0.63 x 0.63 mm and with a gold-plated contact surface, pressed in. From the outside dimensions, the pin connector is a six-pole, two-row contact arrangement front cable outlet. The socket-side end of the pin connector 1 is open, so that the pin connector 1 is designed there for partially receiving the socket connector in the coupling. The coupling is supported by guide and locking means known per se, in particular a resilient locking hook 13 on the socket connector and a suitable locking opening 4 on the pin connector 1. An advantageous possibility of fixing the connector, for example on the vehicle chassis, is given by the integrated snap hook 2 shown.

Der Stiftstecker 1 weist zur kabelabgangsseitigen Stirnseite hin zwei durch einen ersten und zweiten Verschlußdeckel 5 und 6 verschließbare, annähernd als Halbzylinder ausgebildete Kammern auf, die für die getrennte Aufnahme des Filter-Bauelementes bzw. der Buchsenkontakte 11 vorgesehen sind. Durch diese Anordnung sind gute Zugangs- und Verriegelungsmöglichkeiten gewährleistet. Als Filter-Bauelement kann vorzugsweise eine in Reihe geschaltete, als Tiefpaß dienende Spule 3 eingesetzt werden. Es kann jedoch auch ein anderes Bauelement, beispielsweise ein Kondensator oder ein Draht, angeschlossen werden. Die Spule 3 kann, wie in den Figuren 3 bis 5 dargestellt, quer oder parallel zur Axialrichtung des Stiftsteckers 1 angeordnet werden. Sie kann im übrigen auch ohne weiteres mit Kunststoff umgossen werden.The pin connector 1 has towards the cable outlet end side towards two closable by a first and a second cover 5 and 6, approximately designed as a half-cylinder, which are provided for the separate reception of the filter component or the socket contacts 11. This arrangement ensures good access and locking options. A series-connected coil 3 serving as a low-pass filter can preferably be used as the filter component. However, another component, for example a capacitor or a wire, can also be connected. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the coil 3 can be arranged transversely or parallel to the axial direction of the pin connector 1. It can also be easily encapsulated with plastic.

Damit einerseits Spulen mit den üblichen Maßtoleranzen verwendet werden können, die andererseits aber durch die im Betrieb auftretenden hohen Beschleunigungen (10 G und mehr), die auf Vibrationen zurückgehen, nicht beschädigt werden, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die durch den ersten Verschlußdeckel 5 verschließbare erste Kammer eine zur Aufnahme des etwas kleineren Bauelementes bestimmte wannenartige Ausformung aufweist, in der das Bauelement durch mindestens einen, in Figur 4 dargestellten, an der Innenseite des ersten Verschlußdeckels 5 angeformten Federlappen federnd gehalten ist. Der mit Torsionsrasthaken versehene erste Verschlußdeckel 5 drückt die Spule 3, nach dem Aufsetzen und Verrasten am Stiftstecker 1, in die Aufnahme. Der erste Verschlußdeckel 5 kann ohne Gewaltanwendung nicht wieder demontiert werden. Durch das Andrücken der Spule durch den Federlappen werden Vibrationen ausreichend gedämpft.So that coils with the usual dimensional tolerances can be used on the one hand, but which on the other hand are not damaged by the high accelerations (10 G and more) occurring during operation, which are due to vibrations, it is advantageous if the first one, which can be closed by the first closure cover 5 Chamber has a trough-like shape intended for receiving the somewhat smaller component, in which the component is resiliently held by at least one spring tab, shown in FIG. 4, formed on the inside of the first sealing cover 5. The first closure cover 5 provided with torsion locking hooks presses the coil 3 into the receptacle after it has been put on and locked into the pin connector 1 The first sealing cap 5 cannot be removed again without using force. Vibrations are sufficiently dampened by pressing the coil through the spring tab.

Die sich in der in Figur 1 gewählten Darstellung nicht einsehbar nach unten hin öffnende zweite Kammer des Stiftsteckers 1 dient vornehmlich zur Aufnahme der Buchsenkontakte 11, für die in ihrer Basis Aufnahmen zum Einstecken und Fenster zum primären Sichern der vorzugsweise als Rasthülse mit Federlappen ausgebildeten Buchsenkontakte 11. Die aus Sicherheitsgründen vorgeschriebene Sekundärverriegelung kann vorteilhafterweise durch einen an der Innenseite des die zweite Kammer verschließenden zweiten Verschlußdeckels 6 angeformten Quersteg 7 erfolgen, durch den die Buchsenkontakte 11 des Stiftsteckers 1 bei geschlossenem Verschlußdeckel 6 endgültig gesichert sind. Zum Verschließen wird der zweite Verschlußdeckel 6 seitlich am Stiftstecker 1 in Scharniere eingelegt und eingeschwenkt. Er rastet über einen am Stiftstecker 1 angespritzten Rasthaken ein, kann aber, der leichteren Zugänglichkeit wegen, wieder geöffnet werden.The second chamber of the pin connector 1, which cannot be seen downwards in the illustration selected in FIG. 1, is used primarily for receiving the socket contacts 11, for the base receptacles for insertion and window for primary securing of the socket contacts 11, which are preferably designed as a locking sleeve with spring tabs The secondary locking prescribed for safety reasons can advantageously take place by means of a crosspiece 7 formed on the inside of the second sealing cover 6 closing the second chamber, by means of which the socket contacts 11 of the pin connector 1 are finally secured when the sealing cover 6 is closed. To close the second cover 6 is inserted laterally on the pin connector 1 in hinges and pivoted. It engages via a snap-on hook molded onto the pin connector 1, but can be opened again for easier accessibility.

Der Buchsenstecker besteht, wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, aus einem in eine Abdeckkappe 8 polarisiert einschiebbaren Buchsengehäuse 9, in dem die Buchsenkontakte 10 und die mindestens eine, in Figur 6 detaillierter dargestellte Kurzschlußbrücke 12 angeordnet sind, und aus einer axial auf die Abdeckkappe 8 aufschiebbaren Verschlußplatte 15. Dabei ist das Buchsengehäuse 9 mit Führungsnuten 16 versehen, in die beim Einschieben in die Abdeckkappe 8 an dieser angeformte Führungsrippen 14 eingreifen, wobei gleichzeitig eine endgültige Sicherung der Buchsenkontakte 10 bewirkt ist. Auf der Abdeckkappe 8 sind darüber hinaus Rastnasen und an der Verschlußplatte 15 entsprechende Vertiefungen vorgesehen, wobei ein falsches Aufschieben durch eine geschlossene Nut an der Abdeckkappe 8 vermieden wird.As shown in FIG. 1, the socket connector consists of a socket housing 9 which can be inserted into a cover cap 8 in a polarized manner, in which the socket contacts 10 and the at least one short-circuit bridge 12, which are shown in more detail in FIG. 6, are arranged, and an axially slidable cover plate 8 Locking plate 15. The socket housing 9 is provided with guide grooves 16, into which guide ribs 14 which are integrally formed when it is inserted into the cover cap 8, at the same time bringing about a final securing of the socket contacts 10. In addition, locking lugs and corresponding recesses on the closure plate 15 are provided on the cover cap 8, incorrect insertion being avoided by a closed groove on the cover cap 8.

In Figur 2 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Verschaltung der Kontaktstifte 21, 22 und 23 mit der Filter-Spule dargestellt. Es ist erkennbar, daß das Filter-Bauelement mit den abgewinkelten Enden zweier Kontaktstiftteile 21 elektrisch verbunden ist, die, um 180° gedreht und gespiegelt, seitlich versetzt zueinander in einer Reihe mit den anderen Kontaktstiften im Stiftstecker angeordnet und befestigt sind. Diese Realisierung der Reihenschaltung ist, über den grundsätzlichen Vorteil jeder erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung, eine in einem einzigen Steckverbinder mit Kurzschlußelement integrierte Reihenschaltung vorzusehen hinaus, dadurch vorteilhaft, daß zwei identische Kontaktstiftteile, die jedoch unsymmetrisch montiert werden, verwendet werden können, was insbesondere einen leichten Einbau in zwei identischen Arbeitsgängen ermöglicht. Üblicherweise ist einer der im Buchsenstecker kurzgeschlossenen Kontaktwege mit der Reihenschaltung versehen. Die beiden übrigen Kontaktstifte 22 und 23, von denen einer im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weder als Stromversorgungs- noch Masseanschluß, sondern als eine fakultative Anschlußmöglichkeit dient, sind mit ihren beiden Enden jeweils unmittelbar in die axial in einer Linie liegenden Buchsenkontakte des Stiftsteckers und des Buchsensteckers eingesteckt, während die durch die beiden Kontaktstiftteile 21 und die in Reihe geschaltete Spule miteinander verbundenen Buchsenkontakte seitlich etwas versetzt sind, was den Spielraum für die Anordnung der Spule oder eines anderen Filter-Bauelementes erheblich erhöht.FIG. 2 shows an interconnection of the contact pins 21, 22 and 23 with the filter coil according to the invention. It can be seen that the filter component is electrically connected to the angled ends of two contact pin parts 21 which, rotated and mirrored by 180 °, are laterally offset and arranged in a row with the other contact pins in the pin connector and fastened. This realization of the series connection is, in addition to the basic advantage of each embodiment according to the invention, to provide a series connection integrated in a single plug-in connector with a short-circuit element, in that two identical contact pin parts, which are however mounted asymmetrically, can be used, which in particular makes installation easy allows two identical operations. One of the contact paths short-circuited in the socket connector is usually provided with the series connection. The two other contact pins 22 and 23, one of which in the exemplary embodiment shown serves neither as a power supply nor ground connection, but rather as an optional connection option, are both directly inserted with their two ends into the socket contacts of the pin plug and the socket plug lying axially in a line, while the socket contacts connected to one another by the two contact pin parts 21 and the coil connected in series are slightly offset laterally, which considerably increases the scope for the arrangement of the coil or another filter component.
